Rihanna at a Fenty by PUMA creeper launch event in

Rihanna at a Fenty by PUMA creeper launch event in London was asked by Vogue if there's a red carpet look she regrets. Wearing a suit by Peter Do (according to @rihannastyleguide), Rihanna reluctantly id-ed a Matthew Williams Dolan look she wore to a Parson's School of Design benefit in 2017. Dolan shouldn't feel too bad because Rihanna's has worn several other designs by him, more than than most can claim!

As for what Dolan is up to these days, it appears his label is on pause. He was last in the news on 2023 when Italian luxury label Jacob Cohën announced him as a design partner on its first women's capsule.
